The exhibition will occupy several spaces in the historic center of Palma, showcasing representative works from his career, some of which will be exhibited for the first time in Spain. Meireles is known for challenging perceptions and imagination, and his exhibition promises to be a highlight in the cultural landscape of the Balearic Islands.

Commitment to Contemporary Art

ALTTRA, founded in 2022 by Rosario Nadal, Blanca Cortés, and Bartomeu Marí, has maintained a focus on creating and adapting artworks that engage with the specific environment of the Balearic Islands. With a clear emphasis on education and collective participation, the Foundation collaborates with various local entities and associations to strengthen its impact on the community.

This activity program coincides with the celebration of Nit de l’Art, a significant cultural event in Mallorca, underscoring ALTTRA’s importance in the contemporary art scene. With the new executive leadership of Clara Garau, the ALTTRA Foundation is poised to continue being a leading force in the promotion of art and culture in the Balearic Islands.
